Chapter: 163
He hadn’t had a good conversation with Astelle since the day he had been looking for herbs together in the forest.
Upon arriving here, Astelle went to the outbuilding with Theor.
When he thought about it, Astelle liked a ball.
When he was the prince, Astelle, as the prince’s fiancee, often hosted a ball at the imperial palace.
Even in her own mansion, the ball was often held by her on behalf of the deceased duchess.
He remembered Astelle, who wore a fancy dress and laughed happily among the noisy nobles.
The memory of the bright ballroom vaguely appeared and then disappeared.
The memories of Astelle were also not clear.
‘……’
It was difficult to bring back the memories he had forgotten for a long time.
Kaizen has often regretted why he can’t remember those moments properly these days.
He wished that Astelle’s happy smile had been more clear in his memory.
He was more upset because he thought he would never see such a figure again.
“Your Majesty.”
The voice of the attendant disturbed Kaizen’s thoughts.
“Lady Florin has been asking to see Your Majesty.”
“Florin is here?”
Kaizen frowned.
“Why?”
As he lifted his head, Vellian was staring at him blankly.
His eyes wondered why he didn’t know why she had come.
“That…… probably because of Lady Marianne.”
“Oh.”
Marianne, discovered trying to harm Astelle, was still imprisoned in Maern Castle.
Kaizen had forgotten about Marianne since leaving there.
